Renesting
Project

Since
January of 2011,the “Renesting
Project” has
provided
household goods and reclaimed furniture to
those transitioning fromhomelessness
in our community. Thus far, 160
homeless families/individuals have
been placed in homes through complementary agencies.

In
Louisiana United Methodism’s
emphasis
to work “with
the poor,”Mangum’s
Outreach Committee has
called on our church family to respond.

Volunteers
are needed every
Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at the

site at 3113 Driftwood Drive in Bossier
City.Sorting
of donated goods to prepare for someone moving from
homelessness to a home is time consuming.

Our
Spiritual Director

Jan
Mossis
Mangum’s
Spiritual director and Spiritual Growth Co-ordinator.
She received certification in this field in 2008 and is
trained in helping others meet life’s spiritual
challenges. Though not counseling or even pastoral care,
the work of the Spiritual Director is to help others find
understanding in their lives under the direction of the
Holy Spirit. The result is a closer relationship with God
after going through the struggles of searching, questioning
— “wilderness experiences” — to
know one’s place in life.

Jan
is willing to spend as much time with you as necessary to
help you find ways to grow spiritually. Contact her at
635-1472. Her services are free to anyone interested in
such a spiritual endeavor.

Mangum

Our
Prayer Line ministry is in place. When
an urgent need for prayer arises in the Mangum Church
family, please call Sherry Nelson
at 318-458-2808 and she will get the prayers going through the Prayer
Line.
